One of the best benefits of hotel elite status is the ability to receive complimentary room and suite upgrades when you stay with a hotel.
With suite upgrades in particular, putting in a little bit of legwork on your end - also known as the art of “suite-talking” - can significantly increase your chances of securing an upgrade, while also giving you the chance to score amazing upgrades to a hotel’s biggest and best suites.

Interesting approaches to getting a suite upgrade. Some years ago we used this approach in Beijing at the Millennium Hotel. We asked if our five day stay could be upgraded as it was our 35th anniversary. They replied when? We said today. Fingers were snapped, manager showed, fingers typed on a keyboard and we were escorted to a fantastic suite on the 27th floor. The surprise was further enhanced when the door bell rang 15 minutes later and we were presented with a fabulous "Happy Anniversary" cake. Truly first class. We dined there that night and of course had the Peking Duck. Just a simple question gave such a rewarding result.

My favorite upgrade was at the IC Thallaso Bora Bora July 2018. I emailed the hotel twice before arrival and asked when we checked in for an upgrade to a suite. We were upgraded to the Brando suite on a FNC, points and cash booking! I felt really bad that I didnt tip the receptionist or give them a gift so I tried to tip her the next time I saw her and she refused 2x, then she said that Tahiti is a none tipping country and not to worry about it. The next day they gave us some departure gifts - a beach bag, hotel - shirt, towel, hat, some snacks to go and a hand written thank you card signed by some of the workers. It was a short 3 nights but truly an epic holiday that we will never forget!!

The Westin Excelsior in Rome volunteered us a huge upgrade with double balconies. I wrote the concierge a brief note stating that my husband and I were excited to spend a week in our favorite city for our anniversary. I am a member, but never asked for an upgrade. We also came in the day after their Valentine's promo ended...ie people had already left. It really was our anniversary. We were gifted a super lux upgrade just for a sweet email. We were surprised with the upgrade upon our arrival. They also treated us like rock stars when we arrived. Great memories.

It depends on the category you are booking though. I worked in from 3 to 5 star superior business / wellness hotels that were part of chains or individual and summerized is to say that you get what you pay for. The service and attitude is greatly varying; you of course will get a more accomodating reception when you are in a 5* wellness hotel, that only has 30 rooms where there is also enough staff on the contrary to a 4* business hotel were you have over 300 guests usually checking in and out every other day and you are understaffed and stressed out. So your tips for example mentioning that it is a special occasion can go from "i don't care" to "of course sir, we make your stay very pleasent" but there are limits to it. The room planning is usually done the day before and first you try to accomodate every booked suites of guests that actually paid for and then from there on down. Then you go through the membership and bump them up according to their status; that said, it is never guaranteed that you get a upgrade, especially in busy times. So they were members of the highest level that booked a normal twin room, because they got anyway bumped up two levels everytime, but you can imagine the discussion i had when there was not the bump to a higher category, because the hotel was full and then he had to stay in the twin room. Then there is of course the gap from your original booking to what you want as you described in your example with the suite and of course every hotel (chain) will do it differently, but even when the suite is available there comes a point that the cost / performance ratio is not given anymore; how you then feel about it is then irrelevant. Also i like to add, when you complain to much or are in general a difficult guest, there will be a internal entry on your file. You can not imagine how much i was lied to every single day (especially in 4* city hotels) by guests, just so they can get something for free. That said, i don't know how the service standard is in north america since i only worked in hotels in Europe, so of course my experience can be quite different of what you had.

Thanks for the vid! Recently stayed at Hilton Melbourne and about a week before the stay, I asked for a king suite upgrade and they said it was subject to check in. A couple days before the stay I called again regarding the suite and they stated they put a note on file for check in again. When we checked in there was a spare king suite available which we got upgraded to. Similar to your technique in this vid. Will be using it more moving forward!

Then when I discovered I asked and they offered to upgrade me but since I already spent a week in the hotel I felt bad and didn't chance the suite. But good that you are reminding people of this and the diff tactics

Ricky, have you ever encountered a bed bug in a hotel? What would you do? We went to the manager with the bug on a tissue square in a ziplock bag. This was on the second evening! We got an instant suite upgrade down the hall which wasn’t very comforting. We had stayed in this nice hotel in Kuala Lumpur for around 20 nights over the last 3 visits. We have never stayed there again. And no we didn’t see any bedbugs afterwards in our room or suitcases for the duration of our trip.

Buyer beware! Sometimes suite upgrades can actually be a downgrade. I remember staying at the Westin Grand Berlin some years ago and I booked a Grand Deluxe Room (highest room category) in the newly renovated wing of the hotel. However, when I checked in, I was upgraded to a suite in a part of the hotel that hasn't yet been renovated. It was kind of a disappointment and I had to ask to get moved back to my originally booked room.

Another way to get a suite upgrade (at a luxury hotel that does not have loyalty programs) is to book the first night in a regular room and the following night in a suite. Most of of the time, they will automatically upgrade you on the first night to the suite. This works well when you have a late arrival on your first night.

I’m pretty good at getting upgraded and used your tips at the JW Marriott Cancun but sadly due to them being essentially sold out of suites with a huge corporate group, they weren’t able to upgrade me. I had already paid a bit extra for an oceanfront suite the first few nights followed by club 91 lounge access the next 5. Was hoping to get the oceanfront suite extended a few more nights but was unable to. I have an upcoming stay at the Westin Blue Mountain where I have a 1 BR suite booked one night and a 2 BR booked the second. Unfortunately the first night looks completely sold out so I’m not sure I’ll get upgraded. Ideally they simply put me in the 2BR for both nights

Story #2: I use to go at the same hotel in a city but one time I stay at a different hotel but I pass to my 'usual' hotel just to chat with them and explain that I was at the other hotel because of business but tell them that I was coming back in a few month (for vacation) and I will prefer to stay like usual at there hotel and ask if they have some special package for me....The guy offer me a very good deal and suite at a very good price. And the guy said: "happy to have you back and offer me a free drink for me and my wife to relax at the bar"

A suite in Burlington, Ontario. Hmmm. A noted tourist hotspot for sure. I bet suites are in ridiculous demand.

This will en route an employee to think about if any occasion is real. All because of fake birthdays or anniversaries by customers who are not ready to spend money for what they want. Being a hotelier i can say begging on the road side is better than the rich man asking to complement things at hotels. We are simply wasting our time for fake customers to make them happy for nothing, and his continued journey of the customer never ends in continuous visits to any other location of hotels.

If I keep spamming this channel with comments can I have a dank ass t-shirt? I don't have any bonvoy bookings coming up so I can't lie about getting a suite upgrade though :(.

Here's why it isn't: eventually you simply copy and paste most of the communications from one hotel to the next

After what has unfolded in 2020 I no longer view btc as speculation. more so an inevitability. Even if it takes 10 years to get $100k that would mean the average rate of return with a daily $100. Over a year is 100% what asset class out there today offer that type of opportunity?
